And at the end of the day, you have Kumho tires on your car. I hope you don't expect to take full advantage of those BAER brakes with those junk tires. First hand experience with slightly rear ending a car because these tires just wouldn't let me stop.

To each his own everyone raves about the price per performance out of them. They are stucky as hell IMO.

Fixed.

My friend crashed his Prelude into a telephone pole in the rain taking a turn at 15 mph because the 711's decided to go skiing. I had 712's on my car when I bought it, and they were awesome in dry conditions but rain was beyond crap.

The 711 is not the 712 you twit!!!!!!!!

Anywho they are noisy but that's a cheap price. Of course they're not going to be the best in the wet. They are a summer tire. You're going to have to drive at a resonable speed. I won't be getting them again if it matters. I'm thinking of getting the GY's actually. This is a good deal.

Some of are modding 2 cars and own a house so you can F off. It's daily driver and could care less about high dollar tires. Most likely getting these GY's if you would have read the entire post thouroughly. I don't dig on your choice of black wheels on a car so don't dig on my tire choice. I'm offering my advice on a good bang for the buck tire.
